Since we know every classroom is different, our goal is to provide you with all of the tools you need to make Sit for Good a success, regardless of how, when & where you do it! Also, please remember that Sit for Good is a fundraiser, too. We hope you and your students will be motivated by your experiences to set a goal and work to achieve it!

• Push aside all desks & chairs in your classroom
